Results for the Associations Between Overlapping Handgrip Strength Asymmetry Categories and Future Falls.

HGS Asymmetry >10.0%^† (n=5,586)	1.10	1.02, 1.17	1.07	1.01, 1.16

Note: Crude models were adjusted for falls at current wave and follow-up years. Fully-adjusted models were adjusted for falls at current wave, maximal HGS, hand dominance, sex, age, race, multimorbidity, obesity, current smoking status, previous smoking status, self-rated health, depression, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, cognitive impairment, and follow-up years. HGS=handgrip strength.
